Losing WiFi Connection on Android Everytime
#2
Remove all power from the unit.

Pull the wifi module off the PineA64 and carefully clean each and every pin on the board that the wifi module plugs into.

Sometimes the manufacturing process leaves flux and other residue on the pins. If this is not cleaned off before shipment you will need to clean it off yourself, or suffer an intermittent connection issue, not to mention possible oxidation and moisture and other problems.

Did you install the wifi antenna ?

The antenna is actually the little L shaped adhesive thing on the end of the cable. The rest of the antenna is 'just' a cable. Keep the 'actual antenna' (the L shaped piece) high, and away from everything else; especially metal objects, metal desk, your hands, etc.

More than likely cleaning the pins will fix this issue; however, you may have an environmental issue too, and you may have a networking issue.

But, let's cover the simple basic things first.
